The Crop Diseases mod adds a complete system of diseases and pests for crops to FS25. Now, fields can be infected based on the condition of the crops, soil management, moisture, weeds, stubble, and growth stage. Threats are divided into low, medium, and high levels. If the field is not properly managed, diseases or pests will spread faster and reduce the potential yield.
The mod features a separate tab on the map, a threat layer on the mini-map, HUD information on the field, the preservation of infected areas, and support for multiplayer mode.
What's new:
- Disease and pest system for fields.
- 6 diseases: powdery mildew, rust, septoria, root rot, snow mold, late blight.
- 3 pests: aphids, caterpillars, wireworms.
- New liquids: fungicide and insecticide.
- Threat map in the map menu: general overview, diseases, pests, and infestation level.
- Threat layer on the mini-map.
Real-time spread of infection in the field.
Severe infection can cause partial crop loss.
